A tree does not announce as it grows. It just does so quietly. Gradually. With serenity. No one else must know, as long as the tree itself knows that it’s getting there.

Tumbling, I fell down,

Clouded in their words,

But no more, I see a clear way,

In the sky now,

Trailes of stardust,

Behind my name,

The oceans hold me up,

And place me beside,

The moon again,

Baby, my heart is stronger,

Than pushes and falls,

No hands can bring me down,

With ashes into dust and tears,

A small speck of dust,

May all I be, but oh love,

There’s one thing that life,

Taught me well enough,

Even the smallest lights,

Can shine so bright.

// In a night full of black, look at my golden touch //

You have to learn to get up from the table when love is no longer being served.

Tears don’t mean you’re losing, it’s just a little bruising.

I havent done a blog on her in so long. its been years. Here goes.. Iam 27 years old, and iam at a relfective time in my life. Currently stuggling with my mental health at the moment and unshamefully had to take some time out of work to gather myself. The reasons being are still lost to me totally as i relfect i have had a pretty good year, i made my dream come true and went to Australia with my partner for over a month. We visited Perth, melbourne, sysney and cairns and it was such an experience. The summary of what has set me back is work and greif. Last year i lost the heart of my soul, my nana. She died after a horrid battle stroke related and i dont think i have grieved properly. The grieving has been apparent(to me), but in secret. I have hidden my tears and lost the light away from those i love and began a road which was withdrawn from life. I guess it will make more sense if i explain my job. i was doing some job hoping the past two years and have never seemed to have settled! it gets so exhausting starting over and over again however i have. I have finally found a job i am passionate about, for nana. Iam an events and social activities co ordinator at a nursing home... which has been amazing and rewarding to the utmost, up until i realised i was working with a manipulative narssacisstic. She is one of these people who puts others down consistently and loves the sound of her own voice. She also always has to be in control and when i say control i mean in control of me. Did you just say ignore her!? FIght back? stand up for myself? i have tried every option going but it started to get to me and the grief came flooding back like the biggest tsunami you could imagine. I feel so weak because i have only worked here eight months and i allow this to happen, but going to work having anxiety attacks and crying isnt professional. When you have nothing but negativity everyday, you fade into the blackness. (Plus a lady i worked withh left because of this girl iam talking about so it really shows what results in bullying.) Iam proud as everybody around me seems to expect me to quit my job or have asked me if i will. No. I love my actual job...how many people ever say that? I am contracted great hours, money, have friendly peers, its just her. She is a bully and i need to stay strong. The time off has made me put things into prespective as to how lucky i truly am and how sad her life must be. I am returning next week and iam going to attack my job with enthusiasm covered in gold glitter. Recently, thoughts have popped into my mind also about personal factors which have affected me, i have a few people in my life who are experiencing their own problems and because i am a people pleaser who take on the world, i get consumed by other peoples problems then forget to self care. This is something iam working on. I do wonder and hope i know the people who would do the same. Now i have finished outling all my woes, i intend to look to the future and the positiveness around me. i looked back at this blog from years ago and shows i have changed but also stayed the same. ALWAYS critical of myself and have always had th same goals, which i have achieved most of. i became proud and remembered the inner strength i actually have. #proudofmyself

The minute you think of giving up, remember why you held on so long in the first place.

you pushed me so hard that you fell backward from your own force.  (now I’m the one standing over you.)

Strength comes from your struggle - when you learn to see your struggle as opportunities to become stronger, better, wiser. Then your thinking shifts from “I can’t do this” to “I must do this.”

Re-set, re-adjust, re-start, re-focus…..❤️

What if … everything you are going through is preparing you what you asked for?

Time and hard work go hand in hand when reaching for the biggest of dreams. Determination, persistence, and courage is key, however one must also be patient. Big dreams do not often come true over a single night.

Perhaps one of the biggest challenges of life is creating the perfect balance between all aspects that exist with in your world.

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go…

Dr. Seuss (via @scholasticbabe)

It doesn’t matter if it takes you longer to get there. If those around you travel faster, so be it. You are creating your own story. Your own road map. Your own adventure. There are no time limits; all that matters is that you get to where you want to go.
